** Echo attempts to seduce Paul as well, but he turns her down because he thinks it's because the Dollhouse [[Mind Screw|mind screwed]] her.

* A nasty use of [[Invoked Trope]] comes into play on the New Zealand soap ''Shortland Street'', where a girl drunkenly comes on to her psychotic [[Stalker with a Crush]], who ''murdered her brother'', among other people, because said brother wouldn't have been cool with his schoolgirl sister dating his thirty something year old friend. Basically, the girl has had a crush on psycho for a long time, but he kinda screwed his chances up when he tried to strangle her for suspecting him of involvement in her brother's death. It's been a while since that happened, but she's still doubtful about a relationship with him. So he shows up, gets her drunk, then invokes this trope when she goes to kiss him. Cue the poor girl deciding that he must actually be a decent guy, and they get together pretty much the next day. [[Foregone Conclusion|It don't work out.]]

* In the ''[[Firefly]]'' episode "Our Mrs Reynolds", Wash {{spoiler|manages resist Saffron's attempts to seduce him}}. Mal conducts himself quite admirably until {{spoiler|she shows up naked in his bed, and even then most of the crew berates him for "taking advantage" of her. Also, he appeared to be in the process of backing out on her when the drugs kicked in}}.

** "But she was naked! and all ... articulate!"
